Theese are the latest series of Haakon and Mette-Marit, they are taken by Jo Michael for the Royal court, and are sometimes attached to official websites like embassy and patronages, but not on the royal web for now

I LOVE the dutch pictures, they are so full of warmth and happiness, although the brown building in the backround of the latest family picture somehow reminds me of a prison:( And even almost a smile-like grin from Friso...

On the other hand I hate all the pictures taken by Steen Evald in Denmark, they look so stiff and the harsh light and photoshopping makes them look more like lifeless fashionshoots. They used to have a really talented photographer, I think her name was Rigmor Myveskov who took some fantastic pictures, but maybe she is now retired?

The latest official pictures taken by Jo Michael/det kongelige hoff in Norway, I think he is the best they have had in many years, and they have had alot of terrible official photographers IMO

and the official one from Leah Isadoras christening, from scanpix

Well, the disadvantage of the dutch photographers is that usually it looks very messy and as if it was taken by an amateur, but you are right, the seem more personal then the photoshoped danish ones :) The picture of Ingrifd-Alexandra with the rose is just amazing, what a cute little girl she is!
The prison is Castle Het Oude Loo btw, used frequently for family gatherings.

hi socalgirl,
letizia had an official photo sitting on a chair and one with felipe, the official photos taken at the wedding and the official photos taken because of the birth of leonor. there were major events in which they posed for photographers, but as far as i know no official photos were released (engagement, presentation of leonor, baptism of leonor, trip to lanzarote with leonor...)
